Did you know...
~that it's easier to rake a yard full of WET leaves than dry. They stick together easier when you're bagging them, they don't blow around once you've piled them and you can fit more in a bag because they lay flatter, smush easier and are heavier.
~37 degrees really isn't THAT cold when you're raking...you actually can work up a good sweat!
~that dog poop looks exactly like the leaves that are in your back yard...makes it harder to find it and pick up.
~that 9 bags of wet leaves will fit in the back of my mini van...
~that the guy at the dump thought he was being funny when he told me that the leaf area was full and I'd have to take my bags back home...
~that WET leaves are a pain in the butt to unload at the dump, they make you really dirty!
~that wet gloves will turn your finger tips blue.
~how wonderful a hot steamy shower feels after the yard work is complete...
~and do you know...how grateful my husband is for me?!?!? He told me so!

I did not know that...did you know my leaves on my yard are waiting for someone to rake?:)
WOW!! You know a lot of good stuff. Sound like you had a very productive day. Good job...I hope you were able to avoid the land mines. ick
Hey. Did you not like my comment or what?
there wasnt one Heather, I'm sure your freaky pc dumped it or something...poat again.
If I fly you down here, will you rake my leaves? ROFL
9 bags!?! That's a lot of leaves!!
Samantha,
That is only the first half, I took 12 bags of leaves to the dump about 2 weeks ago...
Val-yes if you fly me out I will rake for you! :)
i need to rake . . . i've sort of been waiting for the wind to just blow them all away. but wet leaves don't really blow away . . .
I'm glad you did it. We don't have to worry about that here just fires. It is so hot the poor trees don't know what to do.
